But equality laws were just supposed to screw over boys. Girls empowerment camp canceled after attorney claims it violates anti-discrimination laws

An interesting story. It is nice to see some consistency when it comes to these things and governmental funds. Now if somebody could please send a letter about the need for a White House Council on Boys, since they have one on girls, or, god forbid, some equal awareness campaigns for men's health issues.

That guy does that all over California. Good on him.

""I would rather the camp continue with boys than have it canceled,” she said. “Ideally they could be two different camps in the future.”"

Separate but equal? Our country tried that... didn't work.

It's interesting that these stories always fail to mention how there is never a boys-only/mens-only version ever allowed.

this guy is taking away a camp for so many girls that they have already signed up for and registered for

ah...no, that would be the law that is taking away that camp's state funding

if you have a problem that, consider contacting your legislators and ask them to repeal sex discrimination laws

“We have no record of the young man attempting to register, nor of his attempting to contact the foundation,” Laing said in an email Tuesday. “We can only surmise that he might have attempted to register after the camp was already full (it fills up within 36 hours) and got a notification indicating the camp was full.”

Why on earth would they honestly think that they can lie about that and get away with it?

They said that gender was not a selection criteria, but they did not tell us how many males were selected.

I actually have no issue with a girl's only career camp. But since a boy's only camp would not be allowed, this is the right thing to do.

It exposes just how stupid these laws are.

I can imagine some enraged feminazi reeeeeeeeing at the news "but this is for girls! That law is for boys!!!"

Beautiful

Gosh, who could have seen this coming???

tenchineuro · 2018-03-05T21:16:03+00:00

Hey everybody, you can relax, the governor reinstated the event.

/s

Lying sacks of shit. But they are obviously afraid of looking like bigots which is good.

Laing said if he had tried to register while slots were available, he would have been admitted because gender isn’t one of the criteria for enrollment.

Riiiiight. You don't have to be a girl to go to the girls-only Girls camp which had historically only had girls and advertised as only for girls. Well what a shame they didn't try to tell the city attorney that, because for some bizarre reason they had the opposite impression.

“I would rather the camp continue with boys than have it canceled,” she said. “Ideally they could be two different camps in the future.”

Yeah you'd think that would be the fucking beyond obvious solution but noooooo. The bigots who organized it would far rather cancel the entire event than include even one boy. and why? Because they see it as an opportunity to spread hate, like this:

“My mom told me what happened and I was kind of sad and a little bit angry because this guy is taking away a camp for so many girls

I'm sure her mom told her that the people she ought to be angry with are the fucking bigots that broke the law just to spread hate, right? No?

Good.

Equal application of the freaking law for once.

mwobuddy · 2018-03-05T02:43:39+00:00

“Our office is in receipt of your February 22, 2018, letter. "

who actually talks like that

ItSeemedObvious · 2018-03-05T01:27:46+00:00

it's unfortunate we have come to a crossroad where someone feels this is necessary. Let's hope hes doing it for the right reasons.
